LSTA Provides Update on Ninth Grade Girls, Renewals, and Route Planning
The Lakewood Student Transportation Authority (LSTA) is reminding parents to complete all required transportation forms for the 2025-26 school year, warning that delays could create funding issues with local municipalities responsible for providing transportation services.
In an update issued to families on Wednesday, LSTA officials urged parents to log into their family portals and ensure that all required forms have been completed and submitted as soon as possible.
“Please log into your 2025/26 family portal and ensure all required forms have been completed and submitted,” the LSTA said. “This is essential to avoid funding issues with your respective township for your children’s transportation.”
LSTA also provided an update for families with daughters entering ninth grade. Officials said those students will appear in family portals once their schools complete the enrollment import process. Schools are expected to receive a deadline by the end of the week to submit their enrollment lists, although several schools have already done so.
Parents can access their accounts through the LSTA website at LakewoodSTA.org. Kiosks are also available at the LSTA office for families who need assistance completing the process.
Meanwhile, planning for future school years continues. LSTA reported that four renewal sessions for the 2026-27 school year have already been completed, with a second bidding session scheduled for June 11. The renewal process is expected to continue throughout the summer.
